    FRACTIONAL
    ADDING MACHINE
    MODEL B 1795
    SEE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS
    Up for auction is a listing for a vintage Quixsum fractional adding machine - Model B 1795.  The Quixsum adding machine was patented in 1924 by Precision Adding Machine Co. from Rhode Island and North Carolina. It is a stylus-driven circular adder with carry  but not subtraction.  Clearing is by holding down the clearing lever and turning the dials to zero, one by one.  I honestly do not understand how it works.  I am able to turn the dials - this model is specifically for adding hundreds, feet, inches and fractions.  The wood is in pretty good condition - there is NO box - what you see is what you get.  I don't have much knowledge nor know if it works correctly.
    It measures approximately 15" x 6" and weighs close to 4 pounds.
    Please look at the pictures since the pictures tell the tale of this treasure!
    PLEASE READ BELOW
    My items are brought to me by
    one
    consignor. I've been listing for ONLY him for over 12 years.
    Unfortunately, in May 2021, he passed away after a long battle with cancer.
    He left his wife with A TON OF ITEMS.   I do not know all the details about the items he has left, but I will do my best based on the information I can research on my own.  Most items were purchased at estate sales or auctions, so what he was told and wrote down is all I have to go by.    If there is a problem with the item, please contact me ASAP to resolve.  If you have any questions, please ask BEFORE YOU BID and I will be more than happy to contact my consignor's wife for the answer - so bear with me.
    ONLY SERIOUS BIDDERS PLEASE
    - Thank you.
